any time - Christmas is ok with me cause I don't really have a life.

International is ok as well - in fact I'd prefer it as I've always wanted a foreign bear.

And I can do as I'm told too, sometimes, if I want to.  :twisted:

Should we possibly try to set people up to trade international with domestic???  I think that would be really neat... and all those not willing to ship international, swap with eachother or am i just reiterating what has already been said LOL

starlite Oct 27, 2005

I'll do anything as long as someone tells me directly in plain english - sometimes I get confused late at night -so I await my instructions   :thumbsup:
By the way I am only willing to do anything just this once 
:hug:

Anne - love your new avatar!

Penny - I am a big old German gal, just living in dark and cold Sweden, because Germany has no job opportunities for me. I'm dark blond nowadays, used to be lighter, but the grey hairs are making it lighter again in places :rolleyes:

Dilu - I like your gollies, but this being my first time of swapping I would prefer a bear. Perhaps, we can swap gollies another time? I've never made one, but would love to try. Or do you want a bear?

Just a thought. Can we try to avoid customs fees? Maybe if we all put zero as value and check the box for gift?  :teddybear:

I'll make a bear 3-8 inches, sewn or crocheted. To be discussed with my swap partner.

Mandie
Terrie
Amanda
Heather

I think that's it...  almost ready to draw names!!!

Aww Susan I don't know if I've done that, I'm well known for 'Last minute Lou!' but am happy to ship anywhere!!   Sorry so late!!

kraftyladies Oct 29, 2005

Hi ladies,

I am waiting to hear back from one person than we will be ready to draw names....

I don't know about you, but I am excited!

Kim - my avatar bear has a home with my mother in Germany, but it is my own pattern and I can always make another. Thanks for wanting him.   :love:

Since no one is paying and there is no exchange of moneys, or uros or whatever isn't this really just a gift?  What are the laws.

Do you pay customs on gifts?

Whose an expert on this?

Its all right with me if NO one wants a golly- its just what I happen to make.  but they are not everyone's cuppa tea, or coco, or creme to coco in hot chocolate, or creme de menthe in hot chocolate...( hey if you guys havne't tried it you don't know what yu are missing.....)

I also make mini bears, but that's hardly faIR.....I started making the minis so that al my gollies could travel with a FRIEND.....I don't like to send the babies out there alone.....

So it is OK and you all let Susan know and she can make a decision or e-mail me to try again sme other time.....

dontcha know I'm easy by now?

gotobedbears Oct 29, 2005

I can't wait to find out who i shall be swapping with - what a great idea this is 

Guess i'm just a kid at heart - it's like waiting for Christmas, whooo hooooo

Big Hugs Everyone

Penny  :hug:

kraftyladies Oct 29, 2005

Dilu, you already ARE included in this swap, there are plenty of people that would like a golly!  I am ready to draw names now, but am waiting on one other person to answer, if I don't hear from her soon, I am going to have my Mom draw names anyway.  I don't think we are going to have anyone else sign up before Tuesday, and I am getting impatient!  It is hard for me to wait for surprises, I am sooooo BAD!    it is like waiting for Christmas!!
